One Day After

Apartment 27

My weekend project for my Last Song.
A tribute to the Poems ans Lyrics of Leonard Cohen.

It seems my lyrics needs a little explanation.
In my head the connections are clear, but even my wife has not quite understood what I was getting at.

"Man with the Hat.., how he knows so much about the past, the present and the future"
"The Future".
- Give me back the Berlin wall
- I've seen the future, it is murder
- You never will, you never did
It was the last song on "Natural Born Killers" and probably the moment
when I first noticed Leonard Cohen as a really cool artist. When we got married in the USA in 2010, we rented a Mustang
Convertible for our honeymoon and drove it through the desert. We were often greeted with Mickey and Malory. That was quite amusing.

"twenty years of boredom is just a blink of an eye"
"First we Take Manhtten"
- They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom

"the holy dove..."
"Hallelujah"
- "And I remember when I moved in you and the holy dove she was moving too and eery single breath we drew was Hallelujah"
this is obviously a very erotic allusion. In my imagination, the dove is now "pregnant" and must hatch the egg. She will raise it full of love.

"how many miracles ..."
"Waiting for the Miracle" First song on "Natural Born Killers"
- But i was waiting for the Miracle
- I've been waiting night and day

"His songs of hope are not like songs of people in danger..."
In connection with the Ukraine conflict, my father just told me how he sat in the air raid shelter bunker during Worl War II and sang together to drown out the sirens.
They were certainly not poetic songs, but they served to spread hope. Today, when he listens to the news about Russian War he remembers how scared he was by the sirens.

"especially now, on a Wednesday"
this has no relation to Cohen. My wife reported to me last Wednesday walking down the street. An ambulance came across the redlightning crossroads at high speed.
She was trying to warn a woman who was carelessly walking across the street with her cell phone to her ear.
Instead of thanking her she was insulted in what tone she was talking to her. In the context of the sentence: "would you rather die? On a Wednesday of all days?"

"Everybody knows..." song with this title.
Means that many people are not interested in this kind of lyrics. They are only concerned with the now.

"Lost for so long...rise like the phoenix from the ashes"
- 1996, Cohen was ordained as a monk until he returned in 2001 with "ten new songs"

"With wine and cigarettes..."
"Tower of Song"
- I was born with the gift of a golden voice
- he started smoking again at 80 finally live it up and stop worrying about the consequences shortening your life by much

"Without any choice he reaches our hearts"
"A singer must die"
- And all the ladies go moist and the judge has no choice

"..come to that hotel in New York.."
"Chelsea Hotel #2"
During a visit to New York we of course also visited the Chelsea Hotel. In the lobby hung some artworkds painting by Leonard Cohen.
Lyrics of "Chelsea Hotel #2"
- "While the limousines wait in the street."
- "Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,"
- "You just turned your back on the crowd" (This line appears later in my lyrics)

"the lock of hair, one of his sleeping enemies"
"Famous Blue Raincoat"
- "Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair "
- "Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free"

"has falling to the ground ..."
"I'm Your Man"
- "Ah, but a man never got a woman back Not by begging on his knees"

"As he looked at her, she started to cry..."
During a concert in Las Vegas, a lady boarded the stage, fell at his feet and gave him a rose.
The security guards panicked, but he took the rose and just smiled charmingly.

"He is the keeper of truth..."
"A singer must die"
- "you keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty"
- "Your vision is right, my vision is wrong"

Other  lyrics are freely invented by me but inspired by him to create a framework for this song..

Man With The Hat - Swinging Leonard Cohen Tribute

I'm aware that you don't want me here
The spikes in the concrete make it clear
And the look of disgust on your face
Stings me cold in the streets in my place

It's been this way for oh so very long
It will be this way till the day I'm gone
I feel the ice run deep inside my bones
Cold in the streets one day I'll die alone

And I'll drift away, floating like a feather in the wind
My gift one day, is never to disturb you all again

It's okay that you don't know my name
It's okay that I make you feel strange
And it's clear that the world would be
A much warmer place without me

It's been this way for oh so very long
It will be this way till the day I'm gone
I feel the ice run deep inside my bones
Cold in the streets one day I'll die alone

And I'll drift away, floating like a feather in the wind
My gift one day, is never to disturb you all again

Cold In The Streets

when the Earth was wrapped in digits
and our cave got awfully small
we were rescued from the puppet show
and the open sky beckoned us all

as we zig-zagged towards the hilltops
some of us started turning around
they said the air's too crisp
these clouds—confusing
and the sunlight's getting too loud
too many shadows marching...

so much softer, our cave floor
and our walls are paper thick
we've got everything here we can pay for
dream awake and dream mighty big

outside the air is a mess
the clouds, they'll have us choosing
and the sunlight keeps correcting itself

our shadow-casters know best—
believing is soothing
we sing "red" then we take our blue pill

know what's good for you, little mouse
know what's good for you

and our spirit's rising
when the shadows march
we can reach horizons
when the shadows march
our seated souls are soaring
when the shadows march
just don't buy what's confusing or boring
the shadows are clear
as they march

watch as they march…

what good's an Earth that's drenched in digits
if we're boxed in sitting small
and even those who run the puppet shows
are content to project on a wall

outside the temperatures rise
the one true horizon is hurling us into the abyss
we don't get to claw back out
if we can't tell what lulls from what is

eat every shadow marching
it’s good for you, little mouse

stay tuned for your pipers
and their shadows’ march
there will be no survivors
while the shadows march
pick the facts that best suit you (aah-ah)
pick the shadows that suit you (aah-ah)
your shadows salute you (aah-ah)
and they'll march
and they'll march for you now

SWEET SINNER

shut up 
i hear the same song,same words
i’ll never wait for you call
cause i wasted my time 
being so close
to someone i don’t need to know
and what for?
‘cause

[rit.]
you wanted something better
by now im feelin rotten
you a sweet sinner, my dear
but in my mouth the taste is bitter

[short verse]
how can you be so delicate and violent 
when you bite me
we crave our lips, you know its fine
cause we both liked it

rit.
you wanted something better
by now im feelin rotten
you a sweet sinner, my dear
but in my mouth the taste is bitter

'SWEET SINNER' (ROUGH VERSION) (with 'TUMBLEWEED' By SOUTHEADS)

Empeza el amanecer.
Es quemar todo eso.
Morir joven ya no esta en el plan,
tal vez muera en la tercera guerra.
Sabes que no me voy a privar cada noche de las estrella!
y soñar , la revolución pasa por ellas.
Empeza el almanecer.
Es quemar todo esto ,  oh!
Empeza el almanecer
es quemar todo esto,
Morir joven ya no esta en el plan,
sabes que no me voy a privar de mirar.
Morir joven ya no esta en el plan,
sabes que no voy a privar de mirar cada noche las estrellas.

¡Morir joven ya no esta en el plan!
¡Morir joven ya no esta en el plan!
¡Morir joven ya no esta en el plan!

¡Morir joven ya no esta en el plan!

no esta en el plan

No está  en el plan
